Introduction Welcome to our performance report for the final quarter of the 2014/15 financial year. We have a very positive story to tell with our arrears performance achieving 1.8% and our compliance with gas certification achieving 100%. Other highlights of the year are: The Digital team was set up. As first point of contact for digital enquiries this new team resolved 75% more digital contact compared with 2013/14. Only 25% had to be passed to other teams. Mobile site, Webchat and automated payment line were introduced. Training company-wide on Dynamics (our new Customer Relationship System) and the implementation in January of the first phase. Our excellent void loss performance continued through this year.
Highlights for Quarter 4 are: Complaints satisfaction exceeded targets. Upper quartile repair satisfaction results. Consistently good performance on re-let times. Excellent void loss performance. Continued excellent arrears management. However, we have some challenges including: Continued below target results for average time to complete responsive repairs. Satisfaction with ASB services below target.
KPI targets are scrutinised by the Radian Residents’ Council and HASC (Housing Assets & Customer Services Committee) and performance is compared through the HouseMark benchmarking club. This report includes validated 2013/14 HouseMark Upper Quartile information drawn from the HouseMark system on 12.11.2014; however, current targets were based on 2012/13 HouseMark information as shown in the Q1 report. We have benchmarked our performance against 22 other registered housing providers with more than 7,500 homes in South East England, South West England and London. New targets for 2015/16 have been agreed and are included as an appendix to this report (Appendix 1). Delivering services that are as good as the top 25% (Upper Quartile) of our peers will continue to be our aim and we will be designing performance indicators and targets that drive continuous improvement. If you have any questions about this report, or any suggestions for improvements, please contact us using the information below. Our contact details are: Radian Direct: Email: Text:

Quarter 4 was a challenging quarter with the introduction of Dynamics (our new CRM system) and the annual rent increase. The rent increase at the end of February caused an increase in contact across all channels which led to longer wait times. Dynamics generated increased contact handling times due to advisors learning the new system. Time is spent capturing more information about our residents, as the system is more thorough, which will assist in providing an even better service for our residents. In Quarter 4 resolution remained high at 81%. Quarter 4 saw a 13% increase from Q3 digital contact resolved within Radian Direct. There were an additional 793 signups to My Radian in Quarter 4 compared with 383 extra in Quarter 4 2013/14. Quarter 2014/15– Outcomes Quarter 4 3 Report DecemberReport 2013

From January 2015, repairs satisfaction data has been derived from in-house surveys conducted by the Customer Services Team. The surveys are conducted on the day the repair is completed. This allows data to be captured ‘real time.’ Radian Technical Services have worked extremely hard to achieve the set targets continuously promoting excellent customer service and whenever possible attempting to complete repairs right first time.

172 surveys were completed in the year 2014/15 representing approximately 37% of closed complaints. Our complaints targets were reviewed and revised during the year to match upper quartile performance. Year end outturns exceeded targets by 5.9% (handling) & 4.9% (outcome). The Quality Assurance team is having more personal contact with complainants where we feel this will improve the handling process. Stage one resolution exceeded target at 97.6% showing the effectiveness of this process. In 2014/15 we received 670 compliments and 456 complaints.

The above graph shows the total amount of debt outstanding in relation to the total monies due to Radian. The target of 3.0% was achieved as in previous years but gets harder to attain as the effects of the welfare reforms continue to challenge. Support from teams within Radian ensure that tenants are helped to downsize where possible, claim any benefits they are entitled to and are supported in to work and training where possible to maximise their income.
Graph 3b:2
The above graph shows the percentage of rent outstanding against the debit at the end of the financial year for those tenants who hold a social rent (lower rent) or an affordable rent (80% of the market value). Excellent rent collection performance has been achieved by ensuring resources have been made available to ensure our tenants receive any help and support that they need.
